If they are available for sale in Canada, where do I need to look for them? Thanks for the lead on the pour spouts. I'm planning on using a siphon to top off the truck when needed, but a spout couldn't hurt to have.

I'm also looking at Rotopax for fuel storage, but you sure need a lot of them to feed a Power Wagon!

I see those cans all the time. Seems too expensive. I just get the poly red ones or yellow. They have a new design one that's narrower and taller and finally has a vent on the back again like the old school ones. That works for me. Is there an advantage to spending $50 more on the metal ones?

Canadian tire has those as well but they are are buck or 2 cheaper at princess.

Yea those guys. Much better design then the ones that use a second tube in the spout. Most of those I have sitting around have all been drilled in the handle and a small bolt put into em to vent. But for the 20bucks that's the way to go I think. Just make sure when they aren't being transported leave the cap a tiny bit loose. The sun likes to inflate em

I just checked the ones low sky first posted and those aren't the metal ones. Those are poly too. Just diff design and threaded neck. Get one of those and 3 of the others. Then pour each into that can as needed. Save a ton of money you can put towards extra fuel

They have the second tube in the spout but also have the vent at the back behind the handle.

So, I forgot to follow up on this, but Operation Gas Can was a success, though a bit of a complicated one. I couldn't find any Princess Autos along my planned route that had any of these in stock, but they were in stock at their east coast distribution center. I ended up having to make a hotel reservation in Kamloops, BC and having the cans shipped to the hotel. Purolator managed to deliver on time, and I was able to pick up my 6 new gas cans at the hotel when I checked in. These cans are way more durable than anything we have on the shelf in the US, and should last for a long, long time.

Fun fact for the Rambox owners, your bed will fit 7 military fuel or water cans just perfectly. Here's 25 gallons of gas and 10 gallons of water. Gas goes up $1 if you get too far from Anchorage, so I've learned to just start carrying enough for the round trip. I transfer to the gas tank with a shaker siphon.
